Flora (mythology)
Flora () is a Roman goddess of flowers and spring. She was one of the twelve deities of traditional Roman religion who had their own flamen, the ''Floralis'', one of the '' flamines minores''. Her association with spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime, as did her role as goddess of youth. She is one of several fertility goddesses and a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology. Her Greek counterpart is Chloris. Etymology The name ''Flōra'' descends from Proto-Italic ''*flōsā'' ('goddess of flowers'), itself a derivation from Proto-Italic ''*flōs'' ('flower'; cf. Latin ''flōs'', ''flōris'' 'blossom, flower'). It is cognate with the Oscan goddess of flowers ''Fluusa'', demonstrating that the cult was known more widely among Italic peoples. The name ultimately derives from Proto-Indo-European ''*bʰleh₃ōs'' ('blossoming'). Festivals and temples Flora's festival, the Floralia, was held between April 28 and May 3 and was celebrated with drin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
